One Last Thought Before I Head For Bed -- October 8, 2016

This well just went over one million bbls cumulative! It's been producing since 1981 -- let's see, that's about 34 years. As noted, it's a Silurian well.

• 7571, 482, Hess, Reitsch NCT-2 4, Blue Buttes, a Silurian well a conventional, vertical well, 40-acre spacing, from the well report, "On 4-6-84 the well was acid fractured ....", t4/81; cum 1,004,712 bbls 5/16; this well went inactive in 5/16; and has remained inactive since then.

There are at least two other Silurian wells in the immediate area, both still active, and both exceeding 800,000 bbls cumulative (#9057, #8269).

Meanwhile this well celebrated its 50th anniversary last January, 2016, and it's still active, producing about 1,000 bbls / month. It is a vertical well:

Life

As noted earlier, I did drive over to McKinney today to attend the coin show. I was there for one purpose: to buy some 21st century silver coins. I was there for less then 20 minutes: I got my coins and got out.

The whole experience made me think of this: my life is what it is. It's two sides of the same coin. I can look at life like Hillary and Barack look at life, or I can look at the same coin, the opposite side, like Ronald Reagan looked at life.
